Mama Time

Becoming a parent is one of the most demanding and most rewarding "jobs". Once we become parents, most of us at least, tend to put ourselves on the back burner.  We focus so much of ourselves, our energy on our children. We fret over our parenting style; spend nights awake tending to them. We worry about their health, their schooling, their friends. We worry about their experiences and the amount of sugar they will be exposed to...not to mention all the tasks that we successfully deal with everyday like work, cleaning, cooking and worrying some more. Exhausting!

So let me ask you - when was the last time you took time for yourself to recharge your batteries? When was the last time that everything was all about you? Spending the day reading, going to a coffee shop or book store without any agenda but just because you felt like it; getting a manicure or a pedicure; hanging out with a good friend; getting a massage; getting a Reiki session - are all ways that we can take care of ourselves. Massage relaxes the body, Reiki relaxes your body and your soul.

By the way, have you ever treated yourself to Reiki? In a session you release tension, frustration and the stress of your everyday.  Reiki relaxes you and at the same time energetically refills you and makes you stronger - it regenerates you. It fills you up with patience, love and light so that you can show up for yourself and your family in a new state of mind.

It is so much easier to give when you are open to receive and through Reiki you receive the blessings of the divine.

Happy Mama makes happy Family!
Treat yourself, you deserve it!

Schedule your appointment by August 10th and receive $20 off of your session.

Stress, Infertility, Reiki

"...Women struggling with infertility may be branding themselves with a modern - day scarlet letter: S.
Stress plays a role in 30 percent of fertility problems, studies find, yet it's often the last thing
women address.  "We're programmed not to reproduce when we're under stress", says Elizabeth 
A. Stuart, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine."

Stress affects us on all levels: mental, physical, emotional. It brings down the immune system, causes anxiety and fear and according to studies it blocks our ability to conceive. Studies also show that women who participated in mind - body sessions such as yoga or meditation over 10 weeks had a 52 percent pregnancy rate, compared with 20 percent in a control group.
In our day to day life it is so important to find ways to de-stress and relax. Meditation and yoga are very beneficial because they bring us into the present. While we are practicing nothing else exists and in that state we are able to release the tight grip that stress has on us. Reiki has a similar effect. As Reiki moves energy and energetic blocks in the body it also releases stress and while you receive it Reiki takes you in a deep state of relaxation.
Reiki works on releasing stress and it also prepares the body for the physical and spiritual aspect of the pregnancy. Reiki fills up your body with love and light and opens it up for new possibilities.
